Default T5 Lighting for an 8 foot, 240 gallon full reef
Looking for lighting suggestions for T5's for reef that will inc. some sps & clams. Considering Aquactinics Solar Flares (if I can find them cheaper than 799.) or Aquactinics Constellation. Any thoughts or suggestions very appreciated. Thanks!

I believe that unit has Ice cap balasts in it. If so you can use t 5 vho bulbs if you get the double 48.Or have a look here.DIYReef
